Stocks were flat this morning after another day of record highs. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 edged higher yesterday to close at record highs and are both on track to continue their months-long winning streaks. The Dow, however, has suffered monthly losses and is on track to break its 4 month winning streak.

Apple (APPL) shares typically climb ahead of third quarter earnings with the biggest average monthly returns in July and August. The improvement in investor sentiment is partly due to two major annual events for Apple: the upcoming launch of the new iPhone in September and the holiday shopping season.
Adding to the buzz this year is rising speculation around Apple’s own self-driving electric car. It’s known that Apple has held talks with Nissan, Hyundai and other automakers. On June 10th, Bloomberg reported that Apple hired Ulrich Kranz, a former BMW executive, to work on the Apple car.
The company is set to report Q3 earnings on July 29th. While there was no specific guidance provided for the June quarter, investor sentiment may continue to rise ahead of the call if investors continue to snap up shares of big tech favorites like this one.
The consensus among 44 analysts covering Apple stock is to Buy. The stock has 33 Buy ratings, 9 Hold ratings and 2 Sell ratings.
